Unless you're a schoolish pedant with an overweening sense of numerical propriety, this decade will be drawing to a close in just a few short months. I, for one, can't believe it's gone this quickly. But now comes the time to put up or shut up... your Top 10 Discs for the Decade of the Aughts!

Now, if you're convinced that you need a few more months to absorb that new Circulatory System that dbi's been on about, or to give the upcoming Porky Twee 2-disc concept album a fair shake, or whatever... I understand. Leave a blank space open for now, if you must.

But it's time. Time to commit. It's not easy, so give it some serious thought.

I'll post mine a little later. Once I decide on a #1.
